Rear Deltoid Training

Rear Deltoid Training - Shape round shoulders
Happy Halloween, FitnessRx Women!

Even though 2013 tank top and competition season is coming to a close, it is important to keep a consistent training regimen to make improvements and keep muscle development strong. Today’s focus is training rear delts! You can train rear delts with the rest of your shoulders or separately. I will occasionally add them into back day to hit them twice a week for more development.

Rear Deltoid Training - Shape round shouldersRear deltoids provide shape and roundness to the shoulders and balance to the physique. Developed rear delts can also prevent many shoulder injuries and rotator cuff problems. There are so many benefits to having strong rear delts including helping to support stability when training other muscles groups such as chest, squats, etc.

Try these two exercises for a new routine in the gym!
